The Truth about how satyrday become the
Seventh-day Sabbath?
I admit it, Israel worshiped on Satyrday. But you have borne the tabernacle of your moloch [king] and Chiun your images, the star of your G-d which you made for yourselves. Amos 5:26. Chiun is the Hebrew word for Saturn. But that does not mean their worship was acceptable to YHVH. In this verse Amos sees a day where Israel worships a star-god that they would make for themselves which means that Israel would have been in apostasy at that time.
Stephen, in Acts 7:43 quotes Amos and is translated as Remphan, which is Greek for Saturn. Satyrday is ONLY a day found on the pagan seven day planetary week. Satyrday was the first day (not the seventh) of this pagan calendar week from at LEAST 800 B.C. and perhaps further back. The Father’s calendar is found in the sun and moon (the two great lights), not in the planets.
Why am I spelling it satyrday instead of saturn’s day? Because Saturn and the Satyr areboth linked to the same false system of worship.
Do this word study with your concordance. Isaiah 13:21 says… But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest. Isaiah 34:14
In both cases, the Hebrew word here translated as satyr is Strong’s H8163.
It would seem that the Father stopped Israel’s Satyrday observance early on. Speaking to Israel after their deliverance from Egypt, YHVH said… And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations. Leviticus 17:7. Notice the word for devils (below).
And they shall no3808more5750offer2076 (853) their sacrifices2077unto devils, 8163after310whom834they1992have gone a whoring. 2181This2063shall be1961a statute2708forever5769unto them throughout their generations. 1755
Same Hebrew word, H 8163, Satyrs.
Jeroboam and his sons were later cursed for leading Israel BACK into idolatry. II Chronicles 11:15 says… And he [Jeroboam] ordained5975him priests3548for the high places, 1116and for thedevils, 8163and for the calves5695which834he had made. 6213
Same Hebrew word, H 8163, Satyrs.
Jeroboam brought back what YHVH had removed from Israel in Leviticus 17. And nearly every time Jeroboam’s name is mentioned thereafter it is either prefaced or followed by the statement, who has made my people Israel to sin. Amos reminded Israel of their Satyrday idolatry, Stephen repeated it and it got him killed.
Some people are touchy about their idolatry. I hope you are not and that you are willing to examine why the Father calls Satyrday worship idolatry. Satyrday was not the 7th day of the week until 321 A.D. when Rome adopted the pagan seven day planetary week. Satyrday was the first day of this seven day week for its entire history (during the time Scripture was being written), and not promoted (demoted actually) until Constantine venerated the day of the sun, supplanting Satyrday as the first day of the week.
Here is a pencil sketch from a first century clay tablet calendar. Across the top, the days are inscribed as follows:
saturn’s day, sun’s day, moon’s day, mars’ day, mercury’s day, jupiter’s day, venus’ day.
As the True Israel of Yah faded from the scene, scattered to the 4 corners of the earth, the Jews became more prominent. Let me share with you why I believe it is a good idea to examine the foundation of the day that most Sabbitarians call “Sabbath”. Watch for thebold blue font below because at least one particular scholar DOES believe that satyrday worship is linked to saturn worship (and worse), and he proves it VERY convincingly.
Ever heard of a dual counterfeit? Only the enemies of YHVH would accept an obvious counterfeit, but for the more elect, the Adversary has a not-so-obvious counterfeit.
How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be Almighty, follow Him: but if Ba’al, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. I Kings 18:21.
Ba’al is the obvious fraud, but what about “the LORD”? Every time you read LORD or GOD in all capital letters in Scripture, the underlying Hebrew is YHVH, the Creator’s Name. Ba’al means “Lord” in Hebrew. In Hebrew there is no deception, His Name is YHVH, (which is how the Hebrew reads) but in English there is no right answer from which to choose, both mean Lord. YHVH tells us to stop calling Him “my Lord” (Hosea 2:16-Baali means “my Lord”). Friends, what we have here is a dual counterfeit; one is obvious, the other not-so-obvious.
Which day do YOU keep holy?
•Sunday, the current first day of the pagan Roman/papal calendar
•Saturday, the current seventh day of the pagan Roman/papal calendar.
I say “current” because these days were not always the first and seventh days of the week, respectively.
As a side note, I find it interesting that we pronounce the “n” in Woden’s day (Wednesday), but we don’t for “Saturn’s day” (Saturday). Have you ever heard of a Satyr? The cloven footed half-man, half-goat—the universal symbol of Satan himself?
Sunday is the obvious fraud. Only the enemies of YHVH would observe Sunday, in honor of the pagan sun-god. But every Satyrday, of every week, of every year, Sabbatarians everywhere, in spite of themselves, worship on Satyrday — a day named after Satan himself.
Very cleverly, the Adversary receives his worship every week, all year long, by sincere folks who believe they are following YHVH. Friends, what we have here is a dual counterfeit; one is obvious, the other not-so-obvious. Even if Saturday really is named after Saturn, don’t think we are going to get off the hook so easily. Saturn worship is the oldest form of Satanism and is clearly and historically linked to Satyr, the horned goat. The Adversary does not care how you spell his many different names, or under which one you worship, as long as you do not worship YHVH. Please feel free to connect the dots…
Satan (or Pan) is also called the “Horned God”
Pan a lusty satyr, half-man, half-goat, was given to every form of licentiousness and debauchery.
Kronos, the father of the gods……for a certain wicked deed, was called Titan, and cast down to hell. Kronos is none other than Satan himself. Titan, or Teitan, as it is sometimes spelled, is the Chaldee formof the Hebrew word Sheitan (Satan), the common name for the Adversary.
In the region where the Chaldean Mysteries were originally concocted,--that Adversary who was ultimately the real father of all the pagan gods,--and who (to make the title of Kronos (Saturn), “the Horned One,” appropriate to him also) was symbolized by the Kerastes, the Horned serpent.
Horned goat, horned serpent, father of the gods….hmm. Kronos claims to be in charge if TIME! Kronos is where we get our word Chronology, the study of time. Kronos, said another way, is also known as Father Time. Cue Scriptural support: Daniel 7:25, see also Isaiah 14…
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of Elohim:
I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High. Isaiah 14:13-14
The word congregation here is the Hebrew word Mo’edim, which means “appointed times”. A mountain in Scripture is a controlling power or authoritarian presence. The prophecy above is proclaiming that someone will claim to sit on the mount of YHVH’s appointed times. He is saying that he will control the calendar, and the appointed times. And indeed he does, but only in the hearts and minds of his followers, having no control of YHVH’s calendar appointed times.
Now, the name Saturn in Chaldee is pronounced Satur; but, as every Chaldee scholar knows, consists only of four letters, thus — S T U R. This name contains exactly the Apocalyptic number 666…
S = 60
T = 400
U = 6
R = 200 666

Truth is a two edged sword. If we are going to condemn “sunday” observance as worshipping on the “venerable day of the sun,” satyrday Sabbath keepers need to look in the mirror. Is worshipping on a day named after Satan any better? Satyrday bears the name of our enemy.
Here is a devastating admission from the Seventh-day Adventist church, the largest satyrday keeping denomination on earth…
“The Sabbath question is to be the issue in the great final conflict in which all the world will act a part. Men have honored Satan’s principles above the principles that rule in the heavens. They have accepted the spurious sabbath, which Satan has exalted as the sign of his authority. But God has set His seal upon His royal requirement. Each sabbath institution bears the name of its author, an ineffaceable mark that shows the authority of each. It is our work to lead the people to understand this. … God has called us to uplift the standard of His downtrodden Sabbath. How important, then, that our example in Sabbathkeeping should be right. Testimonies to the Church, Vol. 6, p. 352-353
Fact: A counterfeit has to look a great deal like the original. Sunday cannot rightly be called a Sabbath (spurious or otherwise) as it is not the 7thday of anything. Sunday does not “look” like a Sabbath, so it is an obvious fraud. Satyrday, however, looks a lot like the 7thday of the week, just the wrong week, so satyrday observance is the other half of a very clever dual counterfeit.
When we who observe the Creator’s Calendar worship on the Gregorian satyrday (or any other pagan-named day of the week) it is because that particular day falls on the seventh day of the Creator’s Calendar week—a cycle established at Creation, by the Creator. When Satyrday Sabbatarians worship on the seventh day (of every week on their solar calendar) it is for one of two reasons, perhaps both. Because the Jews keep satyrday, and the calendar they observe tells them that it is the seventh day of their weekly cycle—a cycle established in 321 A.D., by Rome.
So, why do the Jews observe Satyrday as the Sabbath? Let’s consider Judaism and her Sabbath. The word “Jew” is assumed to mean Israelite. It isIsrael that the Father favors, the term Jew began in the dark ages to describe those who kept a form of the Hebrew faith. By that time, true Israel had long been scattered and had lost their identity. The only people around keeping some semblance of Torah during the Dark Ages when the word “Jew” was coined were the Khazars, a fierce nomadic tribe from southern Russia who adopted the religion of the Babylonian Rabbis. Here is a historic timeline.
In 70 A.D., the last of the 12 tribes of Israel were scattered, the first 10 leaving the scene some 700 years earlier. These 12 tribes are lost to history, not retaining their true identity. In the 4th century, the papacy came to power, thinking to change times and laws, confusing the calendar.
Between 700 and 900 A.D., the King of the Khazars sent out messengers asking representatives of every major religion to present themselves before him. The Khazars were looking for a national religion, and wanted to see what was available. As fate would have it, they selected the religion of the Babylonian Rabbis.
Did you catch that? The 12 tribes had been scattered some 700-900 years previous, yet the Khazars adopted Judaism, a form of the Hebrew religion. The problem was that the only ones practicing any form of the Hebrew religion at that time were the Babylonian Rabbis.
The Khazars became known as “the Jews” during the Dark Ages, not because they were Israelites by race or even because they worship YHVH, rather, it is because they adopted the half pagan religion (the Talmud) of the Babylonian Rabbis(the ones that had not gone back to Israel with Ezra and Nehemiah). The word “Jew” was fairly new to the vernacular in 1611 when the KJV was translated and it was inserted where the word Judahite or Judeanwas written in the original manuscripts. I challenge you to use a Strong’s Concordance and look at the underlying Hebrew and Greek words EVERY TIME where the word Jew is used in the KJV.
The Jews are not Israelites, yet many seem to trust them for their own personal doctrine.Listen and you can hear it from their own lips...
“Here is a paradox . . . A most ingenious paradox: an anthropological fact, many Christians may have much more Hebrew-Israelite blood in their veins than most of their Jewish neighbors.”Jewish author, Alfred M. Lilienthal, What Price Israel, p. 223.
The 1980 Jewish Almanac, p. 3, in the first chapter entitled, “Identity Crisis”said… “Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a ‘Jew’ or to call a contemporary Jew and ‘Israelite’ or a ‘Hebrew.’”
A percentage of the people who are known today as Jews are descendants of Abraham, but not of Isaac and Jacob. History reveals that they are actually the descendants of the fierce Turkish, Khazar tribes which roamed regions of southern Russia and who adopted Judaism between 7th and 9th centuries A.D.
“No one can deny that the Jews are a most unique and unusual people. That uniqueness exists because of their Edomite heritage. You cannot be English Jews. We are a race, and only as a race can we perpetuate. Our mentality is of Edomitish character, and differs from that of an Englishman. Enough subterfuges! Let us assert openly that we are International Jews.”Manifesto of the “World Jewish Federation,” January 1, 1935, through their spokesman, Gerald Soman. [Emphasis my own.]
From the above, we can clearly see that the Jews fully understand their Edomite heritage as the third edition of the Jewish Encyclopedia for 1925 records:
“Chazars [Khazars]: A people of Turkish origin whose life and history are interwoven with the very beginnings of the history of the Jews of Russia. The kingdom of the Chazars was firmly established in most of South Russia long before the foundation of the Russian monarchy by the Varangians.” (855).
Hasdai ibn Shaprut, who was foreign minister to Abd-al-Rahman, Sultan of Cordova, in his letter to King Joseph of the Chazars (about 960 AD) speaks of the tradition according to which the Chazars once dwelt near the SeirMountains. The ‘SeirMountains’ are none other than the original land of Esau-Edom - ‘Thus dwelt Esau in mountSeir: Esau is Edom’ (Genesis 36:8). Seir was a mountain range sought of the Dead Sea and was also known as the ‘land of Edom’ (Genesis 36:21). The SeirMountains were the home of the Edomites for nearly a millennium (The Edomites arrived in Edom or Seir at the end of the 14th and beginning of the 13th century B.C. Encyclopedia Judaica, Vol. 6, p. 372). Thus we have it from Jewish sources that the Khazars originally ‘dwelt near the SeirMountains’ so are racially of Edomite stock, not Israelite. But how and when did Edomites get to Khazaria? There is evidence that in the 6th century BC, some of the Edomites fled their homeland of Seir and migrated north, ‘After the fall of Jerusalem, in 586 BC, the Edomites began to press northward (Ezekiel 36:5).The New Westminster Dictionary of the Bible, ed. by Henry S. Gehman, The Westminster Press, Philadelphia, 1970, p. 418.” (The Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. IV, (1905), p. 3).
“Edom is modern Jewry.” —The Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 edition, Vol.5, p.41
“Today, the Khazars are known as ‘Jews,’ not because of any racial question, but because of their religion.” (Jewish historian, Arthur Koestler, The Thirteenth Tribe, New York: Random House, Inc. 1976)
Koestler also states that: …the Jews were “mint-masters, administrators of the royal revenue, tax collectors and ‘money lenders’ – i.e. bankers . . . Foreign trade and levying of customers duties had been the Khazars’ principal source of income. . .” ibid.
The Jews own all major banks, all major print media (newspapers, and news magazines), nearly all of Hollywood, and nearly all major TV stations. Everywhere the “Jews” went, they entered into a growing economic nation and left it in tatters, looting the wealth with their usury. The Jews have been hated, despised, persecuted and run off throughout their history not because they crucified Jesus (his own people did that), but because of their usury. What the Jews had not already stolen from the common man by usury, the papacy took by force.
